Jared Mahone

Singer/songwriter Jared Mahone has been touring nationally from the inside out for nearly a decade impressing audiences with a wide-range of talents drawing from Ohio soul, story-teller poets, pop melodies, and even classic hip hop. He unexpectedly hands an audience a sound they didn't realized they would love, coupling transparent venerability with his Midwest "garage soul" sonics.

Jared's everyman persona connects in a deep and lasting way across a wide spectrum of what are often disconnected cultures within America. His latest album, Mixtape, was created from a crowd-focused and crowd-inspired song-a-week writing project where his fan base chose the track listing from the completed catalog. It was produced by Jerry DePizzo of multi-platinum jam-rock band O.A.R., mixed by Grammy winner Mike Landolt (Maroon 5) and mastered by Grammy winner Brian Lucey (Black Keys, Dr. John, Beck), all Columbus natives.
